Jem’s POV

I was still sitting on the cold metal bench at the train station, my body slightly curled forward like someone who had given up on comfort.

My eyes were half-open, blinking slowly, as though I didn’t even have the strength to fully wake up. I had slept here all night—yes, right here on this same bench where I was still sitting. I had drifted through the night like a homeless man with no family.

After I was kicked out of the party last night, I had begged for almost half an hour outsid

    Jem's POV I hated the idea of this situation, and I was certain something must have happened that triggered such an unsettling dream.Oh hell! How the hell could he make me want him this badly in reality, and still have the power, the right… the audacity to crawl into my dreams and make me scream his name again?I was still lost in thought when Dante’s voice suddenly rang out from my side, pulling me out of my daze. I immediately jolted back to reality.“Are you alright?” he asked softly, his hand still resting against my back as he leaned slightly forward, as if trying to check on me.I shook my head quickly, trying hard to hide my panic, but there was only just little I could conceal. My trembling hands were obvious, my sweaty face gave me away, and my restless eyes kept darting around without settling anywhere near him. He could definitely tell at first glance that I wasn’t “alright.”Then suddenly, out of nowhere, I managed to gather whatever courage I had left, and without think

    Jem's POV “I shouldn’t want him… but I do.” That was the only thought that kept repeating in my head, over and over, as I lay there beneath him, my legs spread apart against Dante's skin as my body betrayed every hesitation I had tried so hard to hold on to.And my pants? They were long gone before we even got to this point, where I was already sweating beneath my skin, and my tilting backward as Dante suddenly slid over from the bed to grab a medium sized bottle of moisturising cream from the dresser.As if I couldn’t wait for him to come back to me, his name slipped from my lips in a quiet, breathless sound before I even realized I was saying it out loud and not just in my head.And that was when he suddenly chuckled, the sound low and teasing. “Did you just say my name?” he asked, his voice laced with quiet amusement.I couldn’t respond. I just shut my eyes tightly, my breath uneven as I felt his weight come back on top of me as he climbed back onto the bed again.And just before

  • Contractually Yours   Chapter 32: Contractually Yours

    Jem's POV For a moment, I didn’t even know how to respond, because his words just hung there between us—and honestly, that hit, and I felt it instantly.He sighed again, quieter this time. “I’ll just let you be for now… maybe you need some alone time.”There was a small pause, like he was deciding whether to say more.“I’ll be in my study,” he added finally. “Take your time. I’ll be around… just call me when you’re ready to see me.”There was something in his tone—something that felt like I had just pushed him away without meaning to.And just before he could take another step toward the door, I quickly looked up and, almost without thinking, blurted out, “I’m sorry.” The words slipped out before I could even decide if it was the right thing to say or not.Dante stopped immediately.And since he was still facing away from me, I took the chance to avoid looking directly at him. I quickly used that moment to say everything I had been holding back. “I didn’t mean to shut you out… I swe

  • Contractually Yours   Chapter 31: Contractually Yours

    Jem's POV I slowly woke up to the sound of small movements in the room.At first, everything felt distant, like I was still halfway between sleep and reality. My eyes opened gradually, and the first thing I noticed was a figure moving around the room.I frowned slightly, still lying there, trying to make sense of where I was. I turned slowly on the bed, my mind struggling to catch up, to piece together how I even got here in the first place.But before I could fully gather my thoughts, a voice suddenly broke through.“You’re awake.”The voice came from behind me.I immediately pushed myself up and turned quickly, my heart skipping slightly at the suddenness of it, and that was when I saw him.Dante.He was standing by the wall, hanging new portraits like it was the most normal thing in the world.Without even turning around to look at me, he spoke again, his voice calm and steady.“Did you eat already?”I didn’t answer.Instead, I slowly turned away again, dragging my palm down my fa

  • Contractually Yours   Chapter 30: Contractually Yours

    Jem's POV The happiness on her face disappeared as recognition hit her.“Oh…” I muttered in panic almost immediately, my voice trembling slightly. “I’m sorry. Dante isn’t around—”I couldn’t even finish properly before she suddenly rushed further into the room.“Oh my God, it’s you!” she exclaimed with a wide smile returning instantly. She grabbed both of my hands gently but excitedly, looking over my face like she was confirming something she had been waiting for. “I was just about to go tell Dante that you had woken up. I didn’t even know you were already back here.”She guided me back toward the bed without hesitation. “Come on, sit.”I obeyed slowly, still confused by her energy.Once I was seated, she continued speaking in that same bright, excited tone. “Does Dante know you’re here?”I nodded slightly, still trying to process everything. “Yes… he knows.”Her smile only grew warmer. She tilted her head slightly and asked in a softer, more caring tone, “So how are you feeling now

    Jem's POV Just a few minutes after Dante left, Shark followed shortly after to get me some clothes, and he returned not too long later.Once I was done dressing up, Shark and I walked out of the hospital and headed toward the waiting car outside.The driver stepped out the moment he noticed Shark and immediately opened the door for me. I slid inside, and Shark got in after me.The drive to Dante’s mansion wasn’t really long, and before I even fully registered how far we had gone, we had already arrived.Shark got down first and immediately moved to my side, opening the car door for me. I stepped out slowly, still feeling a little weak, and muttered a quiet “thank you,” even though my voice came out lower than I intended.Shark only nodded once.He collected my hospital bag without hesitation and shut the car door carefully behind me before locking it.Then he led the way.I followed behind him as we approached the main entrance of the house, and the moment we stepped inside, I felt m

    Dante's POV A strangled breath escaped me as my entire body tensed.The pain wasn’t normal—it wasn’t something I could control or push through. It felt like something was drilling straight into my head, deep and relentless, like my brain was being torn apart from the inside.“Ah—” I gasped, my han

    Dante's POV I let out a slow breath and finally began to explain everything to my mom.She didn’t interrupt me. She just sat there quietly, listening. Even though I wasn’t used to sharing my personal matters with anyone, something about this felt different… urgent. I just thought it was better to

    Dante's POV For a moment, I just stood there, staring at her.Then my gaze dropped slightly as my mind raced.“Then who was in your trunk, Mara?” I asked coldly, disbelief rising in my voice. “Tell me you didn’t carry him to the hospital inside your trunk.”She cried harder at that, shaking her he

    Dante's POV Mara slumped down and broke into another wave of uncontrollable sobs, her body shaking violently with each breath.Despite all her crying and kneeling, I didn’t feel even a hint of sympathy for her. None of it moved me.All I could see… was him—Jem, lying in a pool of blood, the image
